Tigers 3, White Sox 2: Sawyer Gipson-Long makes a strong debut

The Tigers took on the White Sox on Sunday afternoon at Comerica Park, and it was a memorable day for Detroit rookie starter Sawyer Gipson-Long who made his major league debut. There wasn’t a lot of offense, but the Tigers were able to string together a few hits in the third inning for three runs which ultimately proved to be the difference in a 3-2 victory to claim the series.

Sawyer Gipson-Long was acquired from the Twins last season in the Michael Fulmer trade. Prior to the callup, he spent 2023 between Double-A Erie and Triple-A Toledo.
